Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1914.

Application filed February 28, 1912. Serial No. 680,454.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, ALLEN UTT, a citi- I zen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Envelope, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to safety envelops and has for its object to provide an envelop for use with the mail order business, wherein coins and the like may be transmitted with comparative safety.

A further object of this invention is to provide an envelop which when opened will present a flat surface for the purpose of presenting advertising matter to the recipient.

This envelop furthermore eliminates the necessity of sealing all of the flaps as now customary for the purpose of carrying out the foregoing object.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists in the combination, construction and arrangement of parts, all as hereinafter more fully claimed, described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevation illustrating the blank form of which the envelop forming the subject matter of the present invention is formed. Fig. 2 is a similar View illustrating the envelop partially folded. Fig. 3 is a view illustrating the completed envelop ready for mailing.

Reference being had more particularly to the drawings 10 indicates the main body portion of the envelop, the exterior surface of which is adapted to receive the address and any such printed matter as may be desired. On the lower longitudinal side of the body portion 10 is an extension of the flap 11, which is of the same size and shape as the body portion 10 and is adapted to substantially rest thereagainst when the envelop is completed. The extension 11 is provided with the flaps 11 at each transverse terminal thereof, said flaps 11 being adapted to fold upon the extension 11. These flaps are provided with the extensions 12 on the outer transverse sides thereof which are adapted to be folded in such a manner that they will rest flush with the flaps 11. Each extension 12 has its outer corners bent inwardly upon the extensions 12 to form a triangular pocket for the reception of coins, etc. It will be clearly seen from the foregoing that when the extensions 12 are bent upon the flaps 11 and the flaps 11 are bent upon the extension 11, a pocket will be partially formed for the reception of the inclosures such as letters, etc.

The outer longitudinal side of the extension 11 is provided with the two rectangularly formed flaps 13, which have the outer corners 13 bent inwardly to form a pair of rectangular pockets, which are adapted to be bent inwardly against the inner surfaces of the extension 11 under the flaps 11, thus completing the pocket. The body portion 10 is provided with a triangular flap 14 at each transverse end thereof, which is adapted to be folded inwardly upon the inner surfaces of the body portion 10, and provides a means for retaining additional communications if so desired. After the flaps 14 have been folded inwardly upon the body portion 10, the extension 11 with its accompanying flaps and extensions is folded upwardly upon the body portion 10, thus completing the envelop with the exception of the sealer. The extension 11 of the body portion 10 is provided with the vertical slits 15, which constitute, as will be hereinafter more fully described, the sealing means of the envelop. The sealing flap 16 is formed upon the outer edge of the body portion 10, and is adapted to be bent upwardly from the extension 11, and adapted to rest against the outer side thereof, as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 3. This sealing flap 16 is provided with the cars 17, which are adapted to be inserted in the slits 15, and secured therein by glutinous or other sealing material.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by U. S. Letters Patent, is:

The hereindescribed safety prising a body portion, an integral flap at the lower edge of said body portion, said envelop com- I,

flap having laterally extending portions sions, and an angular flap at the side of the scored for doubling the corners inwardly to sealing flap. 10 form coin pockets, a plurality of coin pock- In testimony whereof I aflix my signaets at the lower edge of said extension, havture in presence of two Witnesses. 5 ing corner folds to inclose coins, and a seal- ALLEN UTT.
